The poultry industry faces significant challenges in efficiently monitoring large populations, especially under resource constraints and limited connectivity. This paper introduces the Automated Counting and Monitoring System for Poultry Tracking (ACMSPT), an innovative solution that integrates edge computing, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and the Internet of Things (IoT). The study begins by collecting a custom dataset of 1300 high-resolution images from real broiler farm environments, encompassing diverse lighting conditions, occlusions, and growth stages. Each image was manually annotated and used to train the YOLOv10 object detection model with carefully selected hyperparameters. The trained model was then deployed on an Orange Pi 5B single-board computer equipped with a Neural Processing Unit (NPU), enabling on-site inference and real-time poultry tracking. System performance was evaluated in both small- and commercial-scale sheds, achieving a precision of 93.1% and recall of 93.0%, with an average inference time under 200 milliseconds. The results demonstrate that ACMSPT can autonomously detect anomalies in poultry movement, facilitating timely interventions while reducing manual labor. Moreover, its cost-effective, low-connectivity design supports broader adoption in remote or resource-limited environments. Future work will focus on improving adaptability to extreme conditions and extending this approach to other livestock management contexts.
